Nostalgia Retro Compact Countertop Microwave Oven - 0.7 Cu. Ft. - 700-Watts with LED Digital Display - Child Lock - Easy Clean Interior - Red

I'll be honest, I bought it solely for the looks. I wanted a red one to match my red mini fridge in my office and it looks the coolest. So, I was extremely pleased that it is ALSO an awesome microwave with more features than I know what to do with (I actually had to read the manual to see them all), but easy to use, works amazing, and did I mention looks awesome? It's quiet, perfect sized, and cooks evenly. My hot pockets have never been done so perfectly. There's plenty of room inside for most frozen meals or single dishes to reheat. What's more? The company and their customer service is amazing. Admittedly to my own error, I opened the box upside down and the glass plate was on top (i'd recommend reconsidering that packaging, but I could also just be stupid). It slipped out and broke. I contacted the manufacturer hoping at the very least I could buy a new plate. They responded immediately, and communicated clearly and did me a solid favor and sent me a new plate without charging me. I'm a fan for life, I can't recommend this microwave enough.

I used the microwave a month to make sure it wouldn't fall apart...based on some of the reviews here, I'm lucky the rotating plate didn't break, the handle didn't fall off, or the oven didn't burn down the kitchen. Instead, it survived, though it's only been a month, so who knows. Bottom line, this microwave is not only the best-looking microwave I've ever had, it's the easiest I've ever used. Hit the big round button and it turns on for one minute, then rotate the button to quickly scale your time up or down. There are a bunch of other features that are also easy to understand for anyone with a fifth grade education, but I've cooked meals and reheated items more than once a day for a month and I'm delighted with the overall performance. Yes, the interior light only comes on when the oven is running, not when you open the door. Are the other reviewers blind or something? That just isn't a big deal. Yes, it beeps three times when the cooking session ends. I don't live in a monastery under a vow of silence, so that's okay. The beeping is no louder than any other microwave I've owned. Yes, the power plug forces the microwave to sit about 2½ inches from the wall (see pics)...and the owners manual recommends it sit 3 inches from the wall for venting purposes. I'm okay with that. None of the hundreds of other reviews showed photos of the black version of the microwave, so I'm showing it in several pictures here. It is a handsome devil, even in black, and it harmonizes beautifully with my granite countertop. The interior is plenty big enough for a standard dinner plate (see pics), and therefore big enough for any frozen dinner. The 800 watts of power is slightly less than my usual 900 or 1,100 watts, but it cooks well and cooks evenly. I just follow the directions on a frozen dinner (which are written for 1,100 watt microwaves), maybe adding 10 or 20 seconds to the timing, and it comes out piping hot. Anyone who says it doesn't heat has a bad microwave and should return the oven within a week of purchasing...not sit around complaining about it. So I love my microwave. If it breaks in six months or six years, I'll just buy another one (hopefully when they are on sale, like I did this time). For intuitive microwavers like myself, it is unbelievably easy to use. And it's the most attractive retro-style microwave on the market, whatever color you choose, and it's really not a very close competition with any other design. I could not be happier.

Now this my baby right here, a little smaller in the inside than anticipated but worth the bucks I spent! Nevertheless a great product to have at home, and aesthetically appealing. Easy to clean not noisy at all!

The microwave is very nice and a great value. It heats well and is user friendly. The only quirk it has is you have to tap stop each time it’s finished to open the door. Otherwise it’s great.

I love the design; I've searched for a retro microwave and this one is, by far, the best looking one. As for the quality – the word that comes to mind is "junk". I cut myself as I accidentally brushed my hand against the serif of the letter 'N' in the 'Nostalgia' emblem on the top of the door. I examined the emblem closely – it has sharp edges (see photo) and looks extremely cheap. The inner top of the door also feels like a part you should avoid coming in contact with as it is kind of rough (see photo). The oven sounds like an airplane turbine, and the turntable often makes a knocking sound. It is very weak – at 1000 W it takes almost twice as much to heat a cup of liquid as my old 1200 W oven, although the inside space of the oven is the same. What exactly are we supposed to be "nostalgic" about, here? Update: I kept the microwave because of how beautiful (however kitschy) it is. I've gotten used to its shortcomings, and I'm enjoying the good sides. It is very user-friendly. I absolutely love the interface. None of the ovens I've had over the years has been so convenient.

This is cute! It seems to work well. It may take me some time to get the system down,but, so far, it is pleasing me. It is not complicated, I just don't have time to memorise it and keep trying to follow the patterns of my old microwave. I will need to glance over the instructions,but, it has not been hard to reheat my coffee, or cook my quick meals. I don't cook much, so, I am not sure how it will do with bigger meal items. I think it can handle it though.

I LOVE this little microwave. It works just as you'd expect, tbh. It's soooo cute and fits in with the rest of my aesthetic perfectly. I'm totally going to be getting more nostalgia products in the future. This is exactly what I wanted. HOWEVER! I will say that the ONLY con is that you have to press the STOP button to open the door after using the microwave. That is quite literally the only thing about this microwave that irritates me lol. If you're looking at it - get it, worth it.

Esthetics over practicality, but I couldn't resist. (You'd think I'd learn my lesson after buying the red TV just because it was red.) It seemed rather flimsy when I got it. The tail of the A in the "Nostalgia" script was lifted up right out of the box, which was disappointing because I thought it was metal but it's malleable plastic. The handle is also plastic, but I didn't want to return it over that, so when glue didn't hold, I cut the tail end of the A off. Six months later it started acting up, light flashing, strange buzzing noises. See video. Customer service sent me a replacement. I sent them a video of what it was doing. Replacement was fast. My warranty on this will only carry until the original year is up, but that's ok. When it goes, I won't buy this brand again, no matter how much I love the looks. Not just because of how fast it started glitching out, but also because it had the most uneven heating I've ever seen in a microwave, and that's the case for both the original and the replacement. Too bad, because it's gorgeous, and customer service was great.

Trabalha bem mas algumas vezes (poucas), faz Reset perde a hora, quando se carrega para interromper o aquecimento.

I don't know where to start!! This is the most stunning microwave I have ever bought. I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful it was when I opened it, proper retro and its so shiny and the colour is stunning. It works really well and has cooked food better than other microwaves I have used. If you want a beautiful red microwave then this is the one for you.

Superbe design, fonctionnel et gain de place sur un plan de travail. Mode d'emploi explicite.

This microwave should not be sold in the UK. It arrived with an American style plug fitted. Not safe to use adapter or converter, as stated in info book, which came with the microwave. I contacted seller and two electricians. Seller sent me an adapter separately. Only meant for sale in Canada and USA. It could result in injury and damage. I had to return this microwave, as it was not safe to use. A hassle getting lable printed. Then courier turned up with a label ! Very stressful. No information when ordering that it had an American style plug fitted. Very disappointed, as I loved the colour and style.

Nice features, cool design and simple to use.
